Abstract (en)

A picture image processing apparatus is provided with a hue calculating portion for calculating a hue pixel by pixel based on a RGB data, a first sampling portion for sampling pixels having a hue corresponding to a skin color from the RGB data, a first characteristic quantity calculating portion for calculating a first characteristic quantity representing a characteristic of the RGB data of the pixels sampled by the first sampling portion, a second sampling portion for sampling the pixels located in a central part of an image area, a second characteristic quantity calculating portion for calculating a second characteristic quantity representing a characteristic of the RGB data of the pixels sampled by the second sampling portion, a correction amount calculating portion for calculating a density correction amount using the first and second characteristic quantities, and a density correcting portion for correcting the density of the RGB data using the density correction amount. The density of a main subject in the image can be properly corrected. <IMAGE>
